People don't like their politicians to be comfortable. They don't like you having expenses, they don't like you being paid, they rather you lived in a fucking cave.

The Thick of It, S3 E1.

Do normal things, why aren't you fixing the problems? Do political things, why are you so out of touch? Do fun things, what about old Nanny Madeup who can't enjoy all this fancy stuff? Do anything hinting at being a bit leftfield or modern, hur hur, you don't know what it's like in the real world.

This is why we need media ownership laws in this country.

And FFS, get rid of the fucking gravy train that is OFCOM. Make its members get a "real job".

[Yug]

Does this outrage not spring from the fact that an MP was out and about in her own constituency when it's a well-known fact that the Prime Minister in waiting honestly can't even find his constituency on a map of the Essex coast?

Edit coz I hit submit before finishing

In that short video Ms Creasey listed a number of things she is doing for her constituents. Some people might compare this with the frog-faced fascist cunt who, so far, has done absolutely fuck-all for his.

The need to "fix things" is merely another "legitimate concern". Or Wogs Aht!!1! in plain Ingerlish.

Some people might compare this with the frog-faced fascist cunt who, so far, has done absolutely fuck-all for his.

But he has done plenty for himself. Meanwhile, a real MP (rather than a cosplaying cunt) has suspended her constituency surgeries.

They've left themselves open to, what I understand, would be a successful litigation. That's if Drake sues.

GB News under fire after guest claims Drake ‘raps about raping women’

The guest was the daughter of the famously rational and logical Bev Turner, on what I assume was "bring your kid to work day" at Castle Greyskull. She was defending Kanye West. When your mum only pops back to reality on fleeting visits why wouldn't you follow in her footsteps.

After explaining Kanye’s (also known as Ye) enduring popularity among the younger generation, she claimed that, aside from the Heil Hitler song, his discography doesn’t include ‘antisemitic remarks’ and is instead about making a life for yourself outside of your hometown.

"Aside from the Heil Hitler" song.....

[Andy McDandy]

You shag one goat...

[Oboogie]

aside from the Heil Hitler song, his discography doesn’t include ‘antisemitic remarks’

That may be true (I'm unfamiliar with the Nazi's back catalogue) however there's a list of non-musical antisemitic statements and actions.

What baffles me is the rush, by people of colour, to defend this racist - LBC has broadcast a number of callers saying a variation of "Speaking as a black man, I forgive him.."
OK, I know for many, antisemitism doesn't exist because "Jews don't count" but Kanye is also on record claiming African Americans are responsible for slavery, George Floyd died of a drug overdose and siding with White Supremacists against BLM, he makes Farage and Waxy-Lemon look like moderates.

[Youngian]

Kanye isn’t coming here as a politician or a psuedo preacher. Would have preferred he wasn't prevented from performing but told to keep his mouth shut if he doesn’t want a ban in future.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I'd rather he was banned from everywhere for life. Being popular doesn't wash away racism and anti-semitism.

Britons face £2,500 fine for putting English flag up at homes on St George’s Day

I was searching for the St George's marches after seeing the flagshaggers on the news last night and happened up this misleading dogwhistle headline, which will no doubt achieve the bullseye at the cretins its targeted at. This applies to any flag at all that breaks certain rules, and it's only a £100 fine, with £2000 being a fine for repeat offenders.

It's a mundane council rule that has had mental gymnastics applied to it by a news outlet of angry weirdos.

[Bones McCoy]

Text of the report rather contradicts the headline.
That's not unusual.

I made the mistake of looking at the comments.
The first one outlined the appropriate laws covering flag flying.
Followed by a tirade of "No surrender to Islam", "Council would prefer ISIS flag", "If they come for my flag I'll (describes violent crime)"

I visited an Uncle last summer, a bit of a stereotyped "veteran", wears his service medals at Remembrance Day, helps out at the Cadets etc.
He has a flagpole so here's what he did.

Went down the council and asked what to do.
Offered two solutions:
Erect a temporary flagpole which must be taken down in advance of weather warnings.
Go through planning and get a permanent flagpole that must be properly cemented in.
There was also a bit of advice on what the septics call "Flag code" stuff.
* Top of the staff unless half mast.
* Lowered by sunset unless illuminated.
* Sensible size, no extra lettering. - Tough shit football fans.
* Two flags on one staff must follow precedence rules.
* No Royal standards (Unless HRH has dropped by for a cuppa).

He picked the temporary option, and when I arrived I was greeted by a clean and tidy Saltire.
He's a bit obsessive and puts up different flags on different occasions.

What he didn't do was:
* Think "Sod the fucking caancil".
* Stick flaks up all around the neighbouhood.
* Assemble a mob and threaten bystanders during the performative flag flying.

[Boiler]

The father of someone I knew had a flagpole attached at an angle to the front of his house. It wasn't uncommon to see the Red Hand of Ulster flying from it.
